>So now you see why Carney's career path matters. This is just the tip of the iceberg. If you want to know more I can link you to many facets that you might find interesting.

Nah I don't. So far I'm batting 11/12 for going down the rabbit hole with anti Carney Canadians before i find out they were in support of the trucker convoy.

Benefit of the doubt is gone if you don't open up with actual thought out critique.

Come now, that's just the cognitive dissonance talking.

I'm your huckleberry.

There is no cognitive dissonance.

You agree with a group of people that I generally disagree with.

There is the possibility that you are the rare mark that has consistent principles backing these thoughts, but the fact that you are aligned with a group that has consistently shown no consistent principles means I give you zero benefit of the doubt, and you opened the thread with an argument not backed by your later comment about wanting someone else to represent your country.

If you want to convince the other side of your beliefs then you need to start with a solid argument instead of doing a motte and bailey.

I dont know who this Group is but it all sounds very schmittian.

It is not my role to convince someone of anything. I have to much respect for the human for that.

You, as human, should seek out the truth in your time and not turn away from it.

So you mentioned the 'truckers'. Here [0] is the truth in your time. I will make no attempt trick you into holding position.

Finally to complete the picture you should understand that the Carney government was recently formed in opposition to the democratic voice of the people. It was formed by nullifying the votes of the electorate. Everyone on all sides know this was a deeply immoral act. One has to ask what kind of leader is this?
